This varied circular hike around Steinegg combines nature experience, small discoveries, and a pleasurable stop.
Right at the beginning, you hike along the Rittersteig and pass the original rocket treehouse – an eye-catcher that fascinates not only children. Those interested can also take a detour to the living cave Mortner Gufl which is only 15 minutes away from the main route and mysteriously built into the rock.
Then you walk mainly through forests until you ascend a bit steeper on path [11] to the Wiedenhof farm tavern. Here you can enjoy not only a cozy stop with regional delicacies but also a small petting zoo – ideal for families.
Refreshed, you walk back comfortably on path [8] to Steinegg, where the loop closes. A route perfectly combining nature, history, and South Tyrolean enjoyment.
Possibilities to stop and eat:
- at the Wiedenhof farm tavern after 6.2 km (approx. 2½ hours) from Steinegg via the Rittersteig
- at the start and end point of the hike in the village of Steinegg, you find two village shops and various eateries:
- Gasthof Pizzeria Unterwirt
- Hotel Berghang
- Hotel Steineggerhof
